Hello from Leeds yet again. It was raining when I left Felixstowe and I thought I'd bring it with me as a present for the locals.

Made it from the train station to the city centre without being accosted by a gimp suited rubber fetishist so I guess @classic33 has already left 😂

Just finished my beer & pizza dinner so off to the hotel to try and dry out my trousers 🌧️

The rain eased off shortly after midday round these parts.

Messy eater?

Mum's prescription dropped off at the quack.

The year's supply of bin bags was delivered while I was out. To add to the several hundred cluttering up the garage. I've only used a grand total of two this year.

It is obviously bin day in Littleport tomorrow. Nearly everyone had their green wheelie bins out. Most of them were accompanied by multiple black bags. I mean black bag collection is weekly. How on earth can anyone generate half a dozen plus bags in the space of seven days?

I've not had an issue with fleas since 2009 - when I came back with fleas from a show. Both me and my cat were hopping with the bloody things...

Pearl had been penned between two cats belonging to an exhibitor who was well known to show management as having cats with passenger issues, and of course, the little bar stewards migrated onto my cat. And then migrated onto me during the two and a half hour drive home...

Fortunately we don't see the woman any more. Her entries now get returned by the show manager saying sorry, the hall is full. She used to have a habit of turning up just as vetting in was closing, which was how she escaped the more stringent checks.

On another note, a box of the girls' usual treatment and four wormer tablets turned up in the post today. Tomorrow I shall be chucking a Drontal down each cat.

Good luck with the tablets. I still have the scars I think.

At ATS tyres. Been in the local Morrisons for new rechargeable batteries for the landline phones (not that we use them) as all three wouldn't work when MrsF was sorting out a bank account of her mum. Also got another LED G4 bulb. Blooming expensive but they use 2w and not 20, so might make the £4 back by 2050.

Washing machine locked and loaded ,just waiting for the dishwasher to finish so time for.
Then evening dog walk. May go to the coop later and see what’s reduced.

I've no problem pilling the girls. The trick is to back them into the corner of an armchair so there's no rearward escape, then gently tilt their head back with one hand. Tilt it far enough, and their mouth will open by reflex. Then just chuck the pill in and hold by the muzzle until they swallow.

I got taught by the best, and it's never failed me.

Gluing the cats month shut is a bit extreme for keeping a tablet down.

One of ours learned to do a pretend swallow and then sneaked off to spit the pill out.

LOL! They are devious little sods sometimes...

Basically, you gotta chuck the pill in as far back as it'll go, then they've no choice.

 

[Illaveago]

well, that's a proper cat. good on you, for raising it so

He slept on our bed for a couple of hours and then kept checking to see if I was still alive in the night . Well I think that was what he was doing .

I've got my and a chocolate cake bar, and the girls have just shared a treat stick.

 

[fossyant]

Pah, one new LED packed up after a few mins. Other is fine. I'll be taking it back as they aren't cheap.

Got half a bunker of coal left from last year, so just sparked a proper fire up on this murky damp night, lovely!
The logs at my local Shell garage were a frankly ridiculous price so I will be sourcing from elsewhere. 🔥

Got half a tonne of double ovals this year and they do product alot more ash... Having to clean ash box twice a week rather than once!
Dissappointed! Have some logs for the deep mid winter!
